The Twickenham Stoop is the home of Harlequins — one of rugby's most famous clubs — a characterful ground in South West London, right beside the great Twickenham Stadium but a distinct, more intimate venue. On match days it fills with Quins support. This guide covers the Twickenham Stoop, getting there, and fixed-price transfers around London for the rugby.
The Twickenham Stoop is the home of Harlequins, one of English rugby's most storied and colourful clubs, and sits right next to the vast Twickenham Stadium — but as a smaller, more intimate Premiership ground, it offers a different, closer match-day experience where fans are near the action. Home to Quins' league and European fixtures, it's famous too for the "Big Game", when Harlequins decamp next door to Twickenham Stadium for a festive showpiece before huge crowds. On match days the area gets busy, so getting there and away is easiest with a fixed-price taxi.
Twickenham station serves both grounds, busy on match days.
Door-to-ground, fixed price, and a pickup after — no parking hunt.
Near the A316, but match-day parking is very limited.

A Harlequins match at the Stoop is a great rugby day out, with the intimate ground's atmosphere and the area's pubs and rugby hospitality for before and after, and Richmond nearby. For fans travelling in from around London, or visiting supporters flying into Heathrow, a fixed-price transfer makes the day easy: everyone travels together, no one drives after a few pints, and an agreed pickup afterwards beats the crush. For groups especially, having the travel sorted lets you enjoy the Quins atmosphere — and if it's a Big Game next door, we'll get you to the stadium instead.
Appreciating what makes the Twickenham Stoop distinctive helps explain the appeal of a match-day here, in the shadow of its giant neighbour. The Stoop — named after Adrian Stoop, a legendary figure in Harlequins' history and English rugby — is the home of Harlequins, one of the most famous, historic and colourful clubs in the English game, instantly recognisable by their distinctive multi-coloured quartered shirts. Sitting directly across the road from the vast Twickenham Stadium, the Stoop offers a completely different match-day experience from its enormous neighbour: as a more intimate Premiership ground with a capacity well under a third of the big stadium's, it brings supporters much closer to the action, creating a more personal, atmospheric and traditional club-rugby feel that many fans treasure. Here you can watch top-flight rugby union in Harlequins' Premiership and European Cup fixtures in a setting where you feel part of the occasion rather than one of a distant 82,000. The club is also famous for its innovative and festive "Big Game", an annual showpiece fixture for which Harlequins move across the road to fill Twickenham Stadium itself, drawing enormous crowds in a celebration of the sport, often around the Christmas period. The Stoop's location alongside Twickenham Stadium in South West London means the area shares the same busy match-day character, with local stations and roads under pressure when crowds arrive and leave, though a Stoop fixture draws smaller numbers than a Twickenham international. For supporters, a fixed-price taxi offers the same advantages here as at the big stadium: door-to-door convenience to the ground, and an agreed pickup afterwards to avoid the crush, with the added benefit that we'll make sure you get to the right venue — the Stoop for a normal Quins match, or Twickenham Stadium itself for the Big Game. Understanding the Stoop's intimate character as Harlequins' home, and its distinction from the great stadium next door, shows why a match here is such an enjoyable occasion, and why reliable transport makes it easy.
